Another goal of this community is to help facilitate the spiritual growth of those involved. This won’t look like spiritual dictators breathing down your neck, telling you what to believe and do; rather, it will look like an open floor for discussion, the exchange of ideas, and a place that can support you with quality information from both scholarly and spiritual sources. One way I would like to facilitate this is by establishing an accredited school of interfaith and pagan studies. With a major/minor system. Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctorate Programs.Offering the cores and various social science fields of study.
One of the main strategies of cults is limiting the flow of information for members of the in-group. All sources of information for members of these harmful groups must be provided, monitored, or scrutinized by the leaders of this in-group. That is exactly what this community is trying to avoid. We want to ensure freedom of thought and the space to facilitate the construction of a worldview that centers on critical thinking and compassion. The Temple of Eclectic Pagans strives to be a space where in-group out-group mentality is not supported. We will strive to be a pinnacle of interfaith studies and outreach, while promoting peace. One of the defining features of this university will be its library, which hosts a vast collection of books on many topics, including religious studies, pagan spiritual paths, interfaith studies, magical practices, divination, Religious/Occult history, and more.
